Happy # 82 Johnny Rivers



We say happy birthday to Johnny Rivers.    He was born 
John Henry Ramistella in New York City on this day in 1942.   

Rivers recorded a very popular live album with covers of "Memphis" (Chuck Berry), "Mountain of Love" & "The Seventh Son".    It was great dancing music.

After that, he had a string of great songs like "Secret agent man", "Poor side of town" and "Summer rain".    

In the 1970's he came back to the charts with "Rockin' Pneumonia and Boogie Woogie Flu".

His songs always bring a memory of this or that.
